Fleeting Moments

Was in a wheel chair but boy could she spin

Me up in the air with mischievous grin?

Front tooth missing so much better to whiz

At points of elation blew me a kiss??


Lush lips adorned with a contagious smile?

Worries suspended I flew for a while?

Her hands and my bounce a beautiful match

She clapped before each valuable catch


Were one in advent and when letting go?

Please just another titillating throw?

Final adventure before you retire

Make me stay up there I'm such a live wire??


Grandma has passed now looks on from above?

Be happy up there I'm sending you love??

I can see her little smile with her tooth missing, and I know she is throwing you up in the air as high as she can while you sleep. I hope you can feel this too. Do you ever wake up after a hard whoosh where your soul returns too hard and slams into your chest? This is when she is throwing you. Enjoyed this one!

One of my grandmother died in a labour camp way before I was born. The other one I remember fondly, but she too early. But she was kind to me and taught me a lot. Kind wishes, Kai
